MIS503: Enterprise Integration


Course Description

This course provides students with the theories, models, and analytic techniques required to develop solutions for integrating heterogeneous information systems. Basic concepts that must be applied to enable diverse applications developed in different environments under a variety of rules and standards to process cooperatively will be explored and illustrated. This course serves as a focused introduction to the concept that information systems must be utilized (i.e., re-used) rather than redeveloped and will give consideration to the role of users and the impact of information systems on those people. Independent and group assignments will provide the students with the opportunity to investigate Enterprise Integration solutions from the Web and in use in local environments
